As an Independent Optometrist at Walmart, your practice is just that –yours. Which means you’ll have the flexibility and freedom to run your practice. Through a license agreement with Gumberg Asset Management Corporation, you can practice independently in a separate office space next to Walmart in Virginia. With minimal start-up costs and a competitive, low rent structure, you can begin right away. You’ll establish your days/hours of operation, control your patient schedule, and set your own fees. The offices are furnished with pre-testing equipment and a well-equipped exam lane with ophthalmic instrumentation so you can begin seeing patients on day 1. The groundwork for this success begins with the millions of customers who visit a Walmart location every week - wow, can you imagine the potential.

Application Guidelines

5 Tips for Successfully Submitting a Job Application on Local Eye Site

Before uploading your resume, be sure to check for spelling and grammatical errors. Overlooking minor details can reflect poorly on your application.

Tailor your cover letter to address the position you’re applying for. Using a standard cover letter template can convey a lack of interest to an employer.

Save your resume in a format that will protect the text and layout of the document, such as a PDF. This will prevent your formatted resume from showing up differently when opened by the recipient.

Unless specifically requested, avoid attaching distracting peripherals like headshots and award certificates to your application. They aren’t necessary, and can sometimes be perceived as unprofessional.

Be sure to allow time for the hiring manager to review your application before following up with them. A general follow-up timeframe is about 7-10 business days, after which a simple email will generally suffice.
